BRIDGE TYPES
Modular Bridges for any site
There are many different applications for Custom Bridges, and we are happy to customize a solution to fit any site. Whether a bridge is for a park, trail, snowmobile or vehicle traffic, we can customize a design that suits your needs and budget.
PARK & RECREATION
BRIDGES
A custom bridge makes a beautiful addition to any park. Perfect for biking and walking while also allowing for access of maintenance vehicles. A bridge can help cross a waterway and open up more access to park lands.
TRAIL BRIDGES
Our modular and portable system allows us to install bridges on remote trails where a prefab bridge or concrete foundations are not realistic. These types of bridges are rated to DNR Trail specifications and are perfect for ATV/UTV Traffic and Horses.
PEDESTRIAN BRIDGES
For pedestrian traffic, small bridges 4-6 feet in width allow for easy movement of people over small waterways. These low load bridges are very cost effective and be installed in 1-2 days depending on length.
GOLF COURSE BRIDGES
Custom Bridges make a great fit for any golf course. They provide support for Cart and Maintenence vehicle traffic and the modular portable footings mean that bridge can adapt to course changes and isn’t moored by concrete footings to a permanent location
WETLAND BRIDGES
The Custom Bridge system is designed with wetlands in mind. Many wetland locations do now allow access to large equipment that would be required to put in concrete abutments or prefabricated bridges. Our system can be installed year-round, meaning we can access wetland sites during the frozen months allowing for bridges where they were not previously feasable.
SNOWMOBILE BRIDGES
The Company founder and inventor of the Portable Bridge footing system was an avid snowmobiler and a long-time member of the Clinton Fencehoppers. Our first bridges were designed for snowmobile trails, and we have over 3o years of experience in their design and installation. Many of the snowmobile bridges in WI are from Custom Bridges and Boardwalks.
VEHICLE BRIDGES
Custom Bridges can be designed to meet the Trail Bridge or AASHTO Pedestrian Bridge specifications. In either case the bridges are designed to support a maintenance vehicle. This means access for an ambulance or emergency vehicle, or for a getting a mower or service truck to the other side of a waterway.
LAND ACCESS BRIDGES
Private land owners with creeks or other waterways on their property can use our modular system to provide access to previously inaccessible parts of their properties. This allows for fuller use of private lands in a cost effective and environmentally friendly way.
COVERED BRIDGES
Custom has had the opportunity to build fully covered bridges, like the one on pictured that was made with composite lumber and had lighting integrated. Custom does not shy away from challenging projects like this and hope to build more covered bridges in the future.
CUSTOM BRIDGES
There are no bad ideas when it comes to the bridge you need to get over it. We are happy to customize the appearance and structure of our bridges to fit specialty applications or aesthetic preferences.
You come to us with a plan, and we will help make it a reality.
